I don’t often post hotel reviews on my site. To be honest, if you want to know hotel amenities, there are lots of sites out there that have all that information, so why clutter the internet by repeating the same old thing? But, sometimes, a hotel is more than the sum of its parts. And […]

The King and Prince Resort on the beach at St. Simon’s Island, Georgia. Sounds swanky, doesn’t it? I sure thought so! I first heard of The King and Prince Resort about five years ago and knew I needed to visit someday. I thought it might be good for a romantic getaway with my husband, where […]

But, are hotels always the best choice? When my kids were little (and I was less adventurous), I preferred the consistency of hotel lodging. Today, though, I think non-traditional lodging offers an appeal […]

What’s in an address? You know… those numbers and letters we punch in to the GPS so that annoying voice can guide us to a destination. Those numbers and letters we use to send exciting mail, like graduation announcements and wedding invitations. Have you ever really thought about the place those numbers represent? At 25 […]
